Sweet Liberation!

After two weeks at Columbia-St. Mary's and five weeks in Select Specialty Hospital, I was discharged to Home Sweet Anchor Hold yesterday afternoon. The pneumonia and the cellulitis are gone, the football-sized boil on my leg has been surgeried away and the incision is healing nicely, all stitches out, and every single little MRSA bug is dead, dead, dead! (Vancomycin is wonderful stuff!) However, I am now officially diabetic. Insulin and all......

Expect slow posting for a week or so through the holidays as I clean up 7 weeks' backed-up email and learn how to live the new diabetic life style. (food becoming medicine, extremely planned living, lancets and needles, etc.)

While incarcerated, I did manage to make eight quarts of rosaries.......
.

What a great Christmas gift to see you are back! My husband became diabetic three years ago and it is not as hard a transition as one might think ... luckily he didn't have a drastic entry the way you did. Best wishes, Julie D.

Welcome back to Blogworld, Karen! I must confess, i was getting a little worried. It's in times of illness that we can most relate to St. Paul's exclamation, "Is there no one who can deliver me from this body of death!"

And, I'm sorry for the quirky alphabetical order. Being a former library worker, I do know better, but Blogger's computer doesn't --- and I've had to revert to the automated alphabetizer due to the near-impossibility of manually sorting additions with the new-blogger widget.
